Band Aid

Yes the Dr. put just a large band aid over my drain area. On the way home, we stopped at Safeway so I could buy some think like it. With the drain out, I can finally reach it myself. I seem to have more free movement of my arm now. My mom has been coming over twice a day to take care of the drain. But now I can be a big girl and take care of myself. Thanks mom! Boy do I owe you!! The surgery area is healing well. What is odd, is that if I get goose bumps, or shiver a little, it sends a sharp quiver/tingle feeling in the surgery area's. Its the oddest feeling. Maybe that's they way it is. I have never had any surgery's before. I also do not have any feeling in my underarm. I am thinking some of the feeling will come back once I start to use my arm more and can actually raise my hand above my head. Its still so sore and I am very cautious of both areas. Meaning the spot they took the lymph nodes from and the spot they took the lump out, there are two different areas on the same arm. Some one said without the lymph nodes, that arm will not sweat.. saves some on the deodorant! When summer comes I will have to pay attention to it and see if they are correct!
